CH RONICLE. —Thereis scarcely any alteration to notice to-day in the appearance of i'he English stock market. It con tiuues firm, with not much business going on. Consols for the opening closed at 94 to i t ; Exchequer Bills, 64s to 66s prem. ; and Bank Stock, 2021 to 203 i. Considerable uneasiness, we understand, is felt in the mo netary circles in Paris as to the present position of commercial and financial matters in France, and the apprehension that a critical state of things is at hand has been much increased by the fact that Laffitte's new Joint Stock Bank has been com pelled to fly for succour to the Bank of France, and to obtain a loan of many millions of francs from that institution as the only possible means of preventing suspension of pay ment. We were in some degree prepared for this an nouncement, for things in general in France have worn a very unfavourable appearance for some time past, and it is notorious that the wildest speculations imaginable were entered into greedily by the French public in ge neral, especially by the Parisians. The dangerous state in which Laffitte's bank was and is placed has arisen entirely, we are assured, from having encouraged these reckless specula- ' tions, by advances upon shares of all kinds of ridiculous under takings. The difficulties for the moment, however, have been overcome, but solely by the interference of the Bank of France, and therefore it is still a matter of doubt whether the bank can continue its operations for any great length of time. Had a sudden stoppage taken place, an eventful state of things might have been brought about, more especially as it is very commonly thought that a derangement, or confusion, in the monetary or commercial affairs of France would be the forerunner of political movements of an extended nature. The Government, it is stated, is also under the same impr( s sion, and therefore did everything in its power to meet the de. mends upon Laffitte's bank. There is great fear also that some of the leading moneyed men in France have been in volved either by advances upon the shares, or from being ac tually concerned in the wild schemes for aggrandisement, and therefore we should not be surprised if Paris became shortly the scene of unpleasant events in every point of view. A communication from Paris was received yesterday at the Bank of England just after the breaking up of the weekly court, which threw the remaining directors into a state of great alarm —but whether it had reference to Laffitte's bank or any pri vate firm, we have not yet been able to ascertain. TIM E S.—The advances made by the Bank under the no tice of the 29th ult for temporary accommodation, are under stood to have . reached a muc h l arger amount than usual, and the pressure for money generally is so great, that apprehen. sions are beginning to be entertained of serious inconveniences if the Bank should strictly enforce the condition of the repay ment of the whole of them on the 1513 of January. Besides the advances upon bills of exchange, they arc said to have made large loans of late upon Exchequer-bills and other secu rities. The Bank Directors are not very likely, however, to refuse further time ; but those who apply for it must look for an increase in the rate of interest now charged, which the state of the Money Market will in that case justify. . But they will risk the danger, on the other h nd, of banking, of being gradually b roug ht t o ma k e t h ese tem poraryadvances permanent, than whi c h, as a princi plenothing can be more unsoun d or mis chievous. The only legitimate process, as part of a regu l ar a system, is that of discounting bills absolutely, and suffering them to run to maturity : these loans, which are to be had under such an arrangement as the present, for a few days, are sure to become an encouragement to stock-jobbing and specu lations of that class. . -. One of the features of the Money Market at this time which is worthy of notice is the disposition to purchase an nuities, or change the form of investment from stock into annuities rather than hold stock, and the preference is given to the shorter description of annuitie s . Thi s ev id ent l y arises from a distrust, which must prevail to a considerable extent, in the maintenance of the present prices of the funds. The exchange on Paris, short, was quoted this afternoon at 25. 25 to 30, which is the lowest we have had for a very long time. A further decline, and that a considerable one, is generally looked for. The orders sent out for for e i gn gra i n , not w h eat only, but all other kinds, are very large. HE RA LD.—The Money Market, so far as regards the rates of discount for pursoses of international commerce, has not undergone any alteration during the past week; but there not only with the public, b u t a l so t h e ne that the value of the B ri ti s h secur i t i es i s based i n ms o o t asttarroyng i i n i i p tee o er n leisn a tgs foundation which will render the late rates p er manent. For this opinion there are several pre-exist. ing causes; the first arises out of the circumstances that the almost present duty upon foreign corn, ent ere d f or i m p o rtation, has so turned the tide of th e exc h anges against this country , that it has caused, an d w ill cause, l a rge exportations of the precious metals, particularly silver, from this country to the Continent, for some time to come. The next cause for this declension in the value of the British Funds arises out of the anticipation that the revenue for the quarter ending on the sth of January next will be but of a " Flemish character;" to which the present fluctuating duties upon the importation of loreign corn have b ee n no trifling auxiliaries, which again has forced upon the notice of our practical men of business, both commercial and agricultural, the necessity of a fixed rate of duty, which, as the subject will be mooted during the next Session of Parlia ment, is considered, by well-informed parties on both sides of the question, ought to range permanently a t a b out 15s. per quarter upon wheat, and in proportion upon all other descrip tion of grain. The transactions in the continental exchanges have been but limited, inasmuch as money has been more plentiful than bills, and silver has become a cheaper medium of remittance against the late importations of foreign grain. On Paris the rates are quoted at 25f. 50c. a 55c. ; on Amsterdam at 12f. 3st. a 31 a f st. ; on Rotterdam 12f. a 12f. 3,1-; on Antwerp 12 21; on Frankfort 1501 a 151 ; and on Hamburg 13 8f a 13 9. POST.—Rather more money was paid for foreign bills again this afternoon than on the last post day. Paris was done at 25 55 to 50, Hamburgh 13 9to Bi, Amsterdam 12 3 to 4. Frankfort 1501 to 1, and Antwerp at 12 2i. Some few persons seem to imagine that this continued decline in the Exchanges may have the effect of disturbing the monetary affairs of the country. We cannot find, however, that well informed commercial men participate in the smallest degree in this opinion. The late advance in the price of grain may possibly have caused a demand for a somewhat larger amount of bills than usual, and as the supply of the latter has been so very limited of late years, such a circumstance at once explains the grounds upon which the seller exacts a more favourable rate. The Bank of England are at present so abundantly rich in the precious me tals, that they would doubtless consider it a positive relief to have a couple of millions of sovereigns taken from them. The enormous mass of gold which they now hold must, it is obvious, have become a burthen that is attended with heavy loss to the proprietors, and why, we may ask, should the Directors be averse to the exchange of a limited amount, as that must ne cessarily be which is remitted to the Continent for grain, for securities upon which they may obtain the current rate of in. terest ? But the Bank cannot hope for any such outlet for their superfluous accumulation of treasure. The ports of the corn-growing countries in the north of Europe are by this time all frozen up, and, let the price of wheat go to what point it may in our markets, no mere cargoes can be sent to England till the spring of next year. Speculation will in the meanwhile, in all pro bability, subside, as few houses will be so improvident as to risk their property on an assumption of what may or may not be the average at so remote a period. Had our foreign trade at the prevent time, been anything like what it was before the termination of the ionlo preeauti , n os thr ti; hank E l: gland at that day, deeply interested in the tr4nsactions of the Con tinent with the various colonies of the world, and the extent . - of a steady drain of precious metals might not have been easil) foreseen. • The Bank, according to the last average published, bad 9,339,0001., and why, in the name of common sense, should the Directors, with such a profitless incumbrance upon their hands, feel themselves so much endangered by the with dr mai of one or two millions for a well-defined and specific object from their coffers? NATIONAL CHARTER. A meeting of the Association took place last night, at Chesney's Rooms, Foley-street, Portland-place, for the purpose of forwarding the objects of the National Charter, and to elect a delegate for the Marylebone District. The meeting was very numerously attended. •FEARGUR O'Cosnston, Esq., was unanimously called to the chair, and proceeded to address the meeting. He said—On last Tuesday week they had had a most glorious meeting in that place ; and as the chairman called upon to preside over that meeting, it was his duty to report progress to them up to the present time. Since then they had held four glorious Radical, ultra-Democratic meetings in London, and one glorious one at Bristol. As the corres pondent of the Times newspaper had taken it upon himself to give what he called an account of that meeting, he Mr. O'Connor) O'Connor) felt it tis duty to give the m . a f a i r repre seitta tion of it.—(Hear, hear.) He would first promise to them that these meetings were gall and wormwood to 'the Times, and all the classes whom the Times represented. On the 26th of December, the day before yes terday, it was announced that a meeting of the working classes would take place at Bristol, and, notwith standing the Tory Mayor and Corporation of Bristol set all their engines to work to intimidate the people from attending, they mustered, amidst frost and pelting rain, be tween eight and ten thousand. The correspondent of the Times says 'there were about 500 ragamuffins.—(A laugh.) Now all the persons who did not receive tuition from the Times were called by the Times ragamuffins ; and the cor respondent says further, the meeting was principally com posed of women and boys. He (Mr. O'Connor) had asked the Chairman of the meeting at Bristol why there were not more women there, because he liked to see the women pre sent, and the fact was there were only four women at the meeting.—(Hear, hear.) The reason assigned was that the authorities sent their emissaries and spies to the women, warning them not to permit their husbands to attend. There were no boys present, because the day was cold ; the meeting was held at a distance from Bristol, and the place was not adapted for a play-ground. Therefore the Times correspondent lied, and he know he lied. He stated that there were only one hundred and thirty in the procession, but they had taken the precaution to count the numbers in the procession, and there were near 3,000 ; and when it bad joined the meeting, it did not seem to compose more than one-fourth of the entire.— (Hear, hear.) So much for the Times and its Corre spondent. There was one statement in it which was cor rect, namely, that the Duke of Beaufort and the Glouces tershire yeomanry, with their heavy ploughshares in their scabbards were present ; the 14th Hussars were also there, with their gallant Colonel Brotherton, who would not allow his men to sabre the people during the Bristol riots.—(Cheers.) They rode through the procession ; but did the people in jure them ? No ; they took off their hats and cheered them.—(Great cheering.) But there was a hoax played off upon the dragoons, for it was announced that a torch. fight meeting would take place at Clifton, and the troops were sent down there under the pelting rain to apprehend the parties.—(Great laughter.) These gallant fellows rode down to Clifton, and every ship they with a lantern at its bows, they said, " there's Feargus O'Conner, and his torch light ragamuffins."—(Hear, and laughter.) They thought the people were holding a meeting in the sea, and that they would be obliged to turn themselves into horse-marines in order to apprehend thern.—(Roars of laughter.) But at Bristol they held a glorious meeting, and had elected delegates, and the best test of, the value the peo ple placed on the acquisition of their political rights, was that they paid down out of their hard earnings, a sum of 251. for their dinner. That was a pretty good proof that a spirit was abroad in Bristol, similar to that which existed in other parts of the country—north, south, and east. He (Mr. ('Connor) had succeeded in establishing a great union of the working classes in the \Vest of England. That was the object of his visit. Let the Times and its corres pondent state that if it thought proper. He would now re port progress further, and tell them that their enemies were alert and awake. On the morning after the first meeting held in that room a policeman of the A division cal!cd upon Mr. Chesney and asked if it were true that Mr. O'Connor had been there on the previous evening ? Mr. Chesney re plied " Yes ; why do you ask ?" " Oh, nothing, only that Sergeant Campbell sent me down to be sure of it." " Had he any reasons ?" " None, whatever ; we were talking about it, and he sent me down to ask." Now it was clear that Sergeant Campbell must have had some motive for sending down all the way from St. Giles's to make the in quiry. That very morning, before Chesney was up, two gentlemen had called and seat to ask him if be was going to have another meeting at his rooms ? He replied " Yes." They said it would he better for him not to allow the raga muffins to meet there.—(A laugh.) That be was too re spectable a man, and it would be better for him not to allow them his room. Such were the machinations by which they were to be put down. Parliament met in' six weeks, and exactly in proportion as they stood together, should they be able to obtain what belonged to them, or should their enemies he able to put them down. If they were only united, and no sham Radical came amongst them, their cause would be glorious and they would triumph. Nothing would strengthen the Whigs more than their dis union—nothing would strengthen the Tories, for they were down already.---( Hear.) New parties were springing up, not with a view to relieve the working classes of their dis abilities, but with a view to obtain their own ends. First there was Lord Durham and the Household Suffrage party —next, there was Mr. Ward, the Member for Sheffield, and a few other landed proprietors, who had not a single foot of land in the world, seeking for a repeal of the Corn-laws, and saying how generous they were in calling upon the Government to give up what was called a monopoly.—(A laugh.) Would they allow these two parties to divide them ?—(No.) If the Household Suffrage party obtained a fragment of their force it weakened them and gave the others no power. If, on the other hand, the Anti-Corn-law party divided them it would weaken them, but give the other party no force to carry the project into effect. The views of these parties, therefore, was not to carry the mea sures they proposed, but to prevent the people from attain ing that which was meat, drink, and clothes to them.— (hear, hear.) There had been an anti-Corn-law meeting at Manchester, and a similar one was about to take place ia London, and he would, therefore, give them his opinion, and tell them in what way the repeal of the Corn-laws would be of great importance to them. If they had Universal Suffrage they would then be enabled to divert the savings effected by the repeal of these laws into the pockets of the workine. classes.—(Cheers.) He (D.lr. O'Connor) had been called a Destructive, a revolutionist, and a firebrand ; but it would be his duty to prove to them the blood-thirsty ness and the anarchical feelings of those who were the ene mies of the repeal of the Corn-laws ; and he would further show them that their repeal, without accompanying measures, would only lead to bloodshed, strife, and civil war.—(Cheers.) On the other hand he would satisfy them that in seven days after the other measures had been obtained, the repeal of the Corn-laws would follow as a matter of course. The Corn-laws had been granted to the landlord as a boon, when the produce of their lands ceased to fetch a war price. Under the law of primogeniture, the law of settlement, and the law of entail, the land in that country was mortgaged to the Jews and money-mongers, so that they could not obtain sufficient from the land for their own support, and to pay the Jews and money-mongers. When they found they could not obtain the same prices as during the war, al though all the debts contracted by them were made ac cording to the fictitious value the land obtained during the time of war, they being old representatives in the House of Commons, said to the Minister, " We will not give you our support unless you place us in the same position we were in during the war." The landlords immediately got the protecting duty on th e i r corn , f our years afterwards ; that was in 1815, and i n 1819 th e mone y-mongers g o t their Peel'sßill; and in 1838:there were thehand-loom weavers and the operatives, who, because they were not represented in the House of Commons, were told their ease was not yet ready for hearing. Commissioners were abroad to collect facts already too notorious, and yet the Legislature had not been guilty of a single act to place the people in the same position they occupied during the war time, although the landlords and money-mongers had been more that twenty years in thatfictitious position. He would supposefor argument sake that a prope r ty w hi c h when peace was proclaimed was worth only 10,0001., was now worth 150001., that pro tection gave th e l an dl ord 5,0001. more than he would otherwise possess—that made him independent of jointures, marriage settlements, and money-mongers. If they dis turbed that 5;.;,.t,! of this, ~ ;;' , Fore thoy obtained ITr''''''al S..t:ir:.,,_!, ..,:ww., detro2,ill:-.; the law of primogeuiture, the law of se ttl ement, and the law of entail, they would only set the landlord against the tenant, and destitution and firing of stacks would be the inevitable result. The Corn law Repeal party now said they wanted free trade, be cause the labourers in that country could not compete with foreign labour, which was therefore underselling them both iu their own country and abroad. That was true ; but would any man tell him that if the repeal of the Corn-laws was carried to-morrow, the Government would not exert its power to turn all the advantages derivable from it into its own coffers, as well as they had turned all the beneOts and advantages derived from every other improvement that had taken place ?—(Hear, hear.) He (M r . O'C onnor ) was for the re p ea l of theCorn-laws—(Ch eers )—b u t as Mr. Cobbett had said, Peel's Bill should never have passed without some accompanying measure. If that had been done, the Bill would have been beneficial, but without them it was a destructive measure. He admitted that the Corn laws would be a great step to acquire, but they could .not do so and at the same time advocate Universal Suffrage. He admitted that, if the landlords joined them, they would be strong indeed, but they had never joined the people for any good purpose, but merely to promote their own ends... —(Hear, hear.) If the Corn-laws were repealed, the. Church, that upas tree, that plag ue "pot of soci e ty, wou ld then be assa il e d, an d t h e landlors would be obliged to fall into the ranks of the people, and beat it and the money mongers down as fast as they could. They were aware ,hat a Bill had been passed for England by which the pro terty of the parson was stiperior to that of th e landlord himself, and the tithe now levied was according to the in creased value the land had received by the protection of the Corn-laws. The landlord paid the tithe upon 15,000/, and if the Corn-laws were repealed, he would still have to pay it upon the same sum. If he were called upon to do that, he would at once refer to their meetings, and say that the Radicals had denounced the Church, and must there fore be very sensible fellows, and he would at once enrol himself among them. They would then say, " the Govern ment has always spoken of the national debt as a branch of the national faith. They have also spoken of the Corn laws as a branch of the national faith with the landlords. Now, you have broken faith with us, and we see no neces sity for State parsons, which we abominate, nor for legisla ting Bishops ; and we shall have an investigation into the national debt. As for the Church, I shall in future pay not money but to the altar at which I worship."—(Great cheer ing.) It might be said that that was mere assertion, but he would prove it by analogy. In 1735, the Irish House of Commons being Protestant, passed a resolution tantamount to the law called the Tithe Adjustment Bill, by which all grass lands were exonerated from the payment of tithes. The Protestant landlord, with his 4,000 acres of grass land, paid nothing, while the poor Catholic widow who cul tivated her acre of potatoes on the other side of the fence, was obliged to pay a guinea for tithes.—(Shame, shame.) The rich landlord thus went and worshipped at the expense of the poor Catholic widow.--(Shame, shame.) From that period up to 1823, nearly a century, the landlords persecuted their tenantry who refused to pay tithes. As magistrates they convicted them—as yeomanry officers they shot them—as jurymen they hung them —and as citizens they transported them ; but in 1823 Mr. Goulburn, being Chancellor of the Exchequer, found that the system was throwing Ireland out of cultivation, and lessening the secu rity of his pet Church, and introduced the acreable as• sessment, by which the grass land paid its fair proportion. That was not done because Goulburn felt for the poor oc cupier, but because he was anxious to support the over grown Church, which was already overpaid in various ways, by land that did not belong to it, and tithe it never should have possessed, to the amount of 1 ,500,000/.; the result was that the landlords, magistrates, and grand jurymen, were the first to take the chair at the anti-tithe meetings ; and the same party, in the House of Commons, said that the English people must wonder that the Irish people had so long submitted to that state of things. Why did the Protestant landlords join the people ? Not to abolish the Church and the parsons, but to put the tithes into their own pockets. He remembered the plan of a Scotchman for tranquillizing Ireland—" Whenever there is a riot in a district, I would hang the magistrate and parson, and you would hear no more about it."—(Great laughter.) The object of the landlords in joining the Irish people was to make them a footstool to come into power. He would tell them that by perseverance, and by being manfully united, they could bid the parsons, the landlords, the Tories, the Whigs, and the sham Radicals defiance. If they abandoned their strolls , hold under the hop e o f obtaining th e supp or t o f e i t he r of these parties, they would fall as a matter of course. Already they had the whole of Wales with them—they had delegates from every town and county in South Wales, and among them was a Magistrate from the county of Monmouth (Mr. Frost), of Newport, who was elected to serve as a delegate. Their next step would be to secure the co-operation of the most brave, the most grateful, the most industrious, and the most insulted people on the face of the earth, the Irish.—(Cheers.) If they once esta blished that union, then there would be an end to the do minion of the tyrants and the money-mongers. He ' was a Protestant, but his family and himself had made more sacrifices to destroy the power of the Protestant Church in Ireland, and establish perfect and Cotire equality than any other man. Nay, he went so far as to say,, that if there were to b e a National Church, that ought to b y e the Catholi c Ch urch. He contended that with per fect civil equality there should be no religious disability; but at present such was not the case. They wanted the people of Ireland with them, but they must agitate that country in a different manner from England. The latter was a manufacturing., and the former an agricultural country, and although he had been listening to speeches in the House of Commons since the Reform Bill, and although he had heard the Minister rising in his place and talking about the importation of spices, and nutmegs, and cinnamon,. and oranges, and lemons, and grapes, until he had thought he was eating plum-pudding ; and although night after night he heard discussions about free trade, during the three years he had been in the House of Commons, he had only heard one speech on the subject of Irish agriculture, and that was from Mr. Abercromby, the Speaker of the House of Commons, when opposing the court-martial clause of the Irish Coercion Bill; and he (Mr. O'Connor) had said that if there were ten men in the House who possessed as much knowledge of the subject, and as much zeal, Ireland would yet be a happy coun try. Protestant sm was not in the Court as in the pulpit, or in the jury-box—it was the power and dominion of the land lords and the landed proprietors, and the influence that gave them in the representation, which gave Protestants the ascen dancy. Whit signified sixty or seventy Members in the Im perial Parliament to a local bully-landlord of straw could break a tenant of steel, and every tyrant of a village would stilt continue to oppress his tenant. He (Mr. O'Connor) had put three motions ou the books of the House of Commons, with' a view of applying the industry of the people to the cultivation of the land. One was a sweeping poor-law measure ; another was the right to leases for ever at:a corn rent, and in all cases were the ratings were too dear, that the question should go to a Jury; and another was the removal of all Magistrates being clergymen from the Commission of the Peace. He observed that there was now a cry for free trade, but no man could be a political economist on agricultural matters unless he understood practically how to farm—unless he saw the errors of the present system and could point out a bettor one. _-(Cheers.) These men asked the people to go to Poland, Sweden, Sicily, and other places fur land, but be (Mr. O'Connor) would tell the people that if the labour of the country was beneficially applied there was more land in England, Ireland, and Scotland than would furnish enough to enable all parties to live, and to make it a great exporting country into the bargain.—(Loud cheers.) Why did that not take place? Because the law of primogeniture, the law of entail, and the law of settlement prevented it—because the landlords annexed a condition to the taking of land, restrain ing it from its most valuable operation, and preventing the tenant from cultivating it as he pleased.—( Hear.) When they heard of this outcry about the Corn.laws, must they not suppose that there was a kind of single-stick play be tween the money-mongers and the landlords. The moment the :price of corn was reduced, a fall in wages would take place. Every tax upon the land was a restriction to its proper cultivation. The tithes interfered with it as well as the malt tax. Then there was the Poor-law rate, the hop-tax, the police rate, the church cess, and the comity rate. All these were interferences with the proper cultivation of the land, but none with the landlords' title to let. If they had Universal Suffrage, the landlords would be compelled to let their lands in such proportions as would best suit the exigencies of the State, and the interests of the people. They were living under laws enacted by a Parliament which had committed suicide in 1832, under laws arising out of the old feudal sys tem ; but what they wanted was manufacturing laws to govern the new state of society that had arisen, and to rea der machinery the working man's holiday instead of the work ing man's curse.—(Great cheering.) Under the present system the people we re d epr i ve d o f what was th e i r own inhe ritance, and it had i locked up a great proportion of the treasure of the country. If a farmer under the present system held one hundred acres, with his wife and five children, and four or five labourers, that would support twelve persons ; but if it was divided into two farms, of fifty acres each, then it would support two families, with a propor tionate number of labourers, which would be twelve more than upon a farm of too acres. Let them but divide that again into five farms of twenty acres each, and that would give five families of seven each, or thirty-five persons, with labourers in proportion. If these were each divided into farms of ten acres, t h ey would amply support seventy persons instead of twelve upon the 100 acres, badly cultivated.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. O'Connor), was inclined to carry it still further, and divide it into farms of five acres, and the other would have 140 persons living better, and paying their rent better than under t he present law of primogeniture. H e contended then, that Universal Suffrage would have accomplished that for them. Mr. Spring Rice in replying to Mr. O'Connell on the :question of the repeal of the union, discovered an important fact, that it required more houses for eight millions of people in 1834, than fo r b-ecausr 3A- millions there in 1800 ; " th ere f ore, " says Mr. Spring Rice,e are more houses now the union must have prospered; and because there are more ships to carry over the produce of eight millions, than was required to cons vey the produce of 3i- millions; and because a greater duty is returned from the , '" I. Rip V„,, ..:though I have slept 34 years, seeing now inure ships and m ore h ouses —(never mind the inhabitants) —s a y that the country must be prosperous."—( Great laughter.)
